Cellulite Be Gone! A New Solution Available at Chicago Iteld Plastic Surgery

By: Dr. Lawrence Iteld

5/2/2025

Regardless of age or fitness level, cellulite is a common concern affecting many of our patients. Despite exercise and diet, when those stubborn dimples persist, they may leave you searching for an effective, more permanent solution. Let’s look at what cellulite is and the new solution we offer to tackle it.

What is cellulite

Cellulite forms when fibrous bands connecting your skin to the underlying muscle tighten irregularly. Essentially, cellulite is fat deposits beneath the skin that push against the connective tissue. The result is lumpy, puckered, and dimpled skin, most often on thighs, hips, buttocks, and sometimes abdomen. 

Cellulite is the relationship between your skin, connective tissues, and the normal fat cells everyone has, plus the effects of hormones, age, genetics, and lifestyle on those structures.

Regardless, you want it gone!!

Enter Avéli® 

Avéli® is — a groundbreaking FDA-cleared, minimally invasive procedure that directly targets the structural cause of cellulite. Unlike creams, massages, or other surface-level treatments, Avéli® addresses the fibrous bands beneath the skin that create the dimpled appearance. By carefully releasing these bands, Avéli® smooths the skin and reduces the appearance of cellulite in just a single treatment session.

Wondering how? Dr. Iteld performs the Avéli® procedure using a specialized handheld device that precisely targets and releases the fibrous bands causing the cellulite. 

Benefits of Avéli® 

  • Long-Lasting Results: Avéli® addresses cellulite at its source. 
  • Minimally Invasive: Dr. Iteld performs this procedure with tiny incisions, reducing downtime. 
  • Immediate Improvement: Many patients notice smoother skin right after your treatment, with continued enhancement over time. 
  • Single Treatment: Unlike other cellulite solutions, Avéli® often requires only one session for optimal results.

What to expect after the procedure

Recovery from Avéli® is relatively quick. You may experience mild bruising, swelling, or tenderness for a few days. You can resume normal activities within 24-48 hours. Final results typically become visible within a few weeks as the swelling subsides, and your skin continues to smooth out.

Is Avéli® Right for You?

Avéli® is ideal if you have moderate to severe cellulite and want a more permanent solution. It works best on the thighs and buttocks and is suitable for a wide range of skin types.

If you're tired of ineffective cellulite treatments and want to achieve smoother skin, Avéli® may be your answer.
